German POWs Demanded Better Treatment — Patton Showed Them the Horrifying Truth of Dachau

November 29th, 1944. Three seventeen in the morning. An American submarine captain who had never sunk a ship in his life pressed his eye against the periscope and fired six torpedoes at a target he could not identify. Forty seconds later, four of the largest explosions of his career tore into the largest warship ever built. His name was Joseph Enright. Eleven months earlier, he had written a letter asking to be relieved of command because he believed he was not good enough. Tonight, on his second chance, he would sink a ship seventy-two thousand tons in weight, ten days old, and carrying the last hope of the Imperial Japanese Navy. He would not learn what he had really done for another five years. 00:00 The captain who asked to be fired 11:40 Shinano — the secret supercarrier 23:20 The chase that lasted hours 34:10 Four torpedoes into the largest target afloat 47:50 What one failed captain achieved If your father or grandfather served aboard U.S. submarines in the Pacific, please leave his name, boat, or memory in the comments.
